Considering each hive is home to 60,000 bees, Notre Dame beekeeper Nicolas Geant was beyond relieved to learn the fire didn't hurt the insects.

"I got a call from the spokesman for Notre Dame who said there were bees flying in and out of the hives which means they are still alive," Geant told CNN on Friday.
